Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Irish Air Navigation Service: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Bryan Bourke:
I was probably fortunate in some ways that much of the legwork had been done with the oversight of Ms Rose Hynes, who is the chair of the IAA. A lot happened by virtue of the legislation and the transfers effected pursuant to it. A detailed memorandum of understanding to try to pick up the detail of what went where was drawn up by the respective legal teams for the IAA and AirNav. A considerable amount of the work had been done. I am not in the building all the time but in my eyes, it happened seamlessly on the day. It was very well planned. There are six floors in the building and it was split roughly 55:45. We have taken 45% of the space. There are different access points for the two organisations. It seems to have gone well. There is always devil in the detail to be mopped up afterwards and there are still a few things to be sorted out between the two parties but it is going well.
